The Winter Olympics are set to kick off in Milano Cortina, Italy this weekend with the opening ceremony taking place on Saturday February 7 at 7.30am NZT. 

New Zealand team Chef de Mission Marty Toomey joined Andrew Dickens to chat about how the team is settling in, and the high hopes for this year. 

"I think from a New Zealand team perspective, there's no doubt that this team is made up of athletes that are stronger across the board than we have been previously," Toomey said.
